Little Lily Rae Seely arrived on March 27, 2018 at 4lbs 14 oz and 19 inches long. While in the womb, at some point, Lily suffered an event where her brain was not telling her perfect little body to breath. So when she entered this mortal life she was immediately rushed to the NICU where she was intubated and given her first breaths. For the first excruciating hours of her life, her new family did not know the extent of the injuries that had occurred to their sweet little Lily.After extensive tests and many prayers, it was then realized that Lily came only to this earth to receive a name and a body.

Heartbroken, Kyle and Jena spent the next few days being with their sweet Lily Rae as much as their physical bodies would allow. Lily passed peacefully with Kyle and Jena by her side on April 1st, 2018.

Jena and Kyle have so many associations throughout the US. Jena has lived in Michigan and the Carolinas in her childhood. And of course the great people of Vermont that both Kyle and Jena got to create special friendships because of their LDS missions. As well as their home of Utah, many people have reached out to offer help.

As Kyle, Jena & Lily’s family, we know that they are loved and people would love to help their sweet family at this time with funeral expenses. Kyle and Jena are still students so their funds are few and far between.

We know that we will see Lily again, but her place of rest will be special to Lily’s family for their mortal life to remember her sweet days on this earth. Thank you for all your sweet words to their family through this difficult trial.
